Pride Network and the Unity Chain at Edwards School

Host: Kay Puttock

This show focuses on issues of inclusiveness and understanding in our local schools. First, Sandra Zapata, Program Coordinator of the Iowa Pride Network talks about the work being done among faculty and students to foster understanding and counteract bullying on LGBTQ issues, and to train students in advocacy.

Then Kathy Hanson of the Ames Community District introduces parents and students involved in visioning and then creating the Unity Chain, (each link bearing a special message) that now decorates the cafeteria at Edwards School.

Musical interludes provided by local artists, performed at previous live concerts at KHOI, chosen and introduced by Evan Taylor fills out the progam.
